Marginalised at Old Trafford and forced to set up shop at Lyon, the Dutchman continues to make headlines for the right reasons.
It’s fair to say Memphis Depay has hit the ground running since joining Lyon from Manchester United, but there was no running required in his latest effort for the Ligue 1 side!
Having already bagged a goal in Lyon’s thumping of Toulouse, the Dutchman, spotting Alban Lafont off his line, picked up the ball on the halfway line before driving a shot high over the keeper’s head.
“I didn’t even see the ball go in, I just heard everyone go crazy,” Depay told Canal Plus.
“I’d tried one like that a few years ago and it hit the bar. I saw the goalkeeper was playing off his line in the first half and I kept that in the back of my mind.”
The result moves Lyon into fourth place, two ahead of fierce rivals Marseille, in Ligue 1.
